CHICAGO, May 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- Chicago author, attorney and biblical scholar John W. Mauck has written a new book with a new hope: that all who read it will be healed. "The Healing of Jabez: How God Uses Pain to Bring Healing" (www.thehealingofjabez.com) opens up the biblical story of Jabez to reveal a six-step plan for healing mental, physical and spiritual wounds.
"This book explains the message of pain and healing that is found in the scripture's story of Jabez," says Mauck. "I want readers to let Jabez' story reach their hearts so that they can recognize their deep wounds. Then they can find hope and bring those wounds to God."
Bruce Wilkinson introduced millions to Jabez with "The Prayer of Jabez" about ten years ago. Mauck now uses Jabez' story to introduce readers to Jesus. He does this by showing the dramatic similarities between the two and the ways in which Jabez prefigures the Messiah.
"For those who are skeptical of faith in Jesus, I encourage them to get acquainted with this person Jabez," continues Mauck. "Then if they find Jabez to be authentic, he will have a life-changing message to tell them about Jesus."
"Realizing that God wants to make us whole will help us on the path to healing," Mauck concludes. "I pray that all who follow that path will then use this book to introduce others to the Healer so that they also will be healed."
"The Healing of Jabez" will be officially released on June 1, 2009. For more information, please visit www.thehealingofjabez.com.
I Chronicles 4: 9-10
"Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez saying, 'I gave birth to him in pain.' Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, 'Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.' And God granted his request."
